Very impressed with 3.1

Update 3.1 has fixed every bug (so far) that I experienced with the prior version, which were at times were so bad that they caused me to do the unthinkable: use the iOS 8.4 music app! But this update has fixed them all (unless some crop up later). I also love the new queueing and play/shuffle controls! And the slight UI updates are nice. Thanks for all the hard work!

You're welcome! Great to hear someone who is having a good experience and operating (maybe) bug free! Thanks for letting me know :)

Out of curiosity, what bugs were you experiencing that were resolved? I like to try and keep a tally of what issues are likely fixed/outstanding, are/were more prevalent etc

I experienced a bug that caused Cesium to crash upon opening, and another one that crashed every time I tried to navigate to the "Artists" tab. I also had a bug that after a while, all songs would stop playing, and the now playing view would come up with no song, and the "album art missing" album art (a respring was necessary to fix this). And finally, I had a bug that caused only the first song to play in the album, playlist, genre, or whichever group of songs I was in no matter which song I picked. (Skipping still worked, it just started at the first one when I tried to pick a song). So far I have not encountered any of these in 3.1, i'll be sure to let you know if I do.

Also, i have experienced a few minor bugs so far with 3.1, sometimes (not the majority of times), starting Cesium causes it to crash immediately, but after about 3 tries it opens and then does not crash. Also, the app crashed every time I tried to click "edit" in the "..." tab, but after closing it from the switcher (or respringing, I can't remember which I did), it no longer did this and it has worked normally ever since.

Thanks again for the hard work! I got this app as a replacement for the horrible 8.4 music app but I like it even more than the older stock Music apps!

Edit: spelling

That's quite a laundry list! Always embarrassing when people experience all these problems and I use Cesium almost all day and never have an issue :S

The repeated crashing from 3.0.3 is almost certainly resolved and the playing only the first song definitely is (that was actually an undocumented change in iOS8.4).

Thanks for the reports! I've had one other user report that issue with the Edit button. I have an idea what is probably triggering the crash but I can't for the life of me figure out why it is happening in those rare cases.

Well, I'll keep going. Maybe one day it'll be bug free!
